Amy Welsh and Chris Rota with the WVU Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design are studying the habits and habitats of two West Virginia lagomorphs: the Appalachian cottontail and the snowshoe hare. Their research team, which also includes WVU alumni Mack Frantz and Holly Morris — both West Virginia Division of Natural Resources biologists — is about to begin a collaborative, four-year study.
